Quest Failed: "Deliver the herd to Makeb"

[Kenobiwan709]

"Ragnar of Visibrot, the headman from Visibrot has asked you to deliver 12 head of sheep to Oragur the Cargomasteer in Makeb. He fears such a large herd will attract the attention from the brigands on the way. You need to deliver at least half of the herd to Oragur the Cargomaster."

"You failed to deliver the herd in time, as Ragnar of Visibrot has asked you. The shepherds and the herd left you."


I accepted the quest from Ragnar of Visibrot and immediately proceeded to Makeb. The journey was not far and I had arrived within the same day of accepting the quest from Ragnar of Visibrot. When I arrived however, Oragur the Cargomaster was not there. I checked inside the city on foot and he was not there. So I decided to wait and let time pass to see if he would arrive in the city coming from somewhere else. He did not, and the quest failed causing me me to lose reputation with the quest giver and village and also branding me a criminal for thievery.

Is this a bug?

I've got the same issue. Did you find a solution?

Honestly, I don't know. I haven't tried repeating the quest since I originally had the issue. With all of the time that has passed, and the amount of updates/patches they've put out I had assumed it had been fixed. Apparently not, if you're still encountering this issue.

Strange... I never had problems with delivering-quests.
Did you accept other quests at the same time?
I oncs had a bug when accepting two quests at the same time.

Other than the main story quest, no. That was the only side quest I had in my log at the time of the incident. I typically like to focus on one task/quest at a time to keep things simple.

@ Kenobiwan

Players have been reporting that an NPC is missing in towns when they should be there. I have seen the problem and the best solution is to exit the town then enter again. My guess is that the NPC isn't spawning in a valid "slot" or a broken slot so they simply go poof ... :(

For sure, reloading the town works 100% for me.
Also, check for the arrow > to go to the second page in the list, or go to the lords hall (if you can). Sometimes this can help, sometimes not. I dare say go to the dungeon, but that's not needed but who knows .... maybe Oragur slot could be random enough he might actually go there if his normal slot is taken by someone else ... :P ... (or he's just creepy that way).
